Truss Today

[Paigntonian]

Think of her what you will but she'll need balls of steel to get through PMQs today. A gargantuan task.

I think the poll should make grim reading for you too, but perhaps you are too naïve to understand.
You now what they say about the light at the end of the tunnel ...

Obviously I am, please explain how it’s grim reading for me?
I’m all ears.

[Khandro]

Fatti; If you think this present lot are bad (& they are!) you might get what you wish for; the Islington elite chardonnay-socialists, without a clue what to do with the economy, beholden to the unions, allowing the EU bureaucrats & the ECHR to regain a strangle-hold once more, while thousands of illegal immigrant wash up on the shores of Britain - I could go on.

[jno]

the government won't have a clue what to do with the economy?

Thousands of immigrants will turn up?

They drink chardonnay?

OMG, surely no British government could ever get into such a state of drunken incompetence!

Seriously detached from reality. A government of lies, covert behaviour, law-breaking, illegal goings on in the HoC, a law-breaking former PM, a tanked economy after a failed fiscal experiment, worst living conditions not seen for 40 years and a present government in turmoil and an absolute catastrophe of they’d own making?
Please explain how Labour would be worse in credibility and honesty alone?
Still, I doubt you’re really affected by what’s going on over here whilst in Germany, surely?
So tell me how matters would get worse under anyone else?

[naomi24]

You’re awfully confused, Jno. Maybe you should read Khandro’s post again.

[FatticusInch]

Forgot to add, do some research on the immigration figures(legal or otherwise) for the last 3 years.
I’ll give you a clue:
They’re record-breaking.

[Paigntonian]

It's odd that no matter how incompetent the government may be we, the people, can't get rid of them.

[FatticusInch]

As posted elsewhere, but just for Khandro:

/Grant Shapps, who used a fake name in order to pose as a "millionaire web marketer" running a get-rich-quick scheme, and then lied about it for three years, is now in charge of law, order and security in the UK./

Grim reading indeed! PMSL

Fatti, //Forgot to add, do some research on the immigration figures(legal or otherwise) for the last 3 years.

I absolutely agree, & do you think Labour would be any better?

The reason Boris got his 80 majority was because said he would address the immigration problem which the public thought was encompassed within his, "let's get Brexit done" & why the 'Red Wall collapsed, what did he do - zilch !, so did May, & so has, in her short term, Truss.

Apparently Suella Braverman was the most determined Home Secretary to tackle the problem so far, but she has been forced to fall on her sword over a really trivial matter.

I despair for Britain.

[jno]

was the most determined Home Secretary to tackle the problem

had the biggest mouth, if that's what you mean, but she was standing on the shoulders of giants - predecessors who had made mega promises and failed to fulfil them. As did she.

I don’t know, but they can’t be any worse but I’ve a feeling we’ll find out shortly, this is the most unprecedented collapse of a government anyone can ever remember, we really are in uncharted territory and the winter and proposed strikes/industrial action hasn’t even started yet.
They’d be better to call a GE now and leave with a few stragglers as opposed to fighting it and being utterly annihilated.

I remember the last labour governments (blair and brown) and they were better than these tories

[emmie]

Blair, war criminal and a dire Chancellor, PM....

[Untitled]

yep. Still better.

[emmie]

Brown sold off gold reserves and plundered pension pots. is that what you consider better. Because i don't.

[Untitled]

this country had serious problems when labour left office in 2010 and the tories have made everything worse… i cannot think of a single area of life in britain that they have managed to improve.

[Untitled]

yes emmie i think they were still better. This country was a better place to live even if you account for their worst failures.
